I've had that mod or a long time and no detectable oil leaks.

Are you sure you do not have excessive crankcase pressure? There are a few =
places that could leak if that is the case and the rear crank area is one.P

When we rebuilt my BJ8 Engine I bought the Oil Seal from Moss and my machin=
ist friend installed it. I am confident he did a good job drilling and tapp=
ing holes etc. I had hoped that I would not have rear crankshaft oil leaks=
. In the past year I have driven the car a little over 1,000 miles 25 mile=
s at I time and recently noticed those infamous oil spots on the driveway. =
Today I visited my British Car friends at Tech Central in Bonita Springs a=
100-mile round trip on I-75 nonstop at 65-75 mph. Fortunately, I carried =
2.5 quarts of oil because I had to use it to fill the crankcase when I got =
there and had to add 2.5 quarts when I got home. In addition, I notice the=
clutch slipping in 4th gear in overdrive if I accelerated. No doubt cause=
d by oil on surface of the friction plate. When I got home the weep hole i=
n the transmission bell housing was producing one oil drop every three seco=
nds and when running the engine at fast idle one drop of oil every second. =
Has anyone had a failure using this seal conversion kit? Bob Begani =20
